TF goes a little... queer.

Over the last 25 years the Transformers have appeared in media from the exquisite to the scribbled and been licensed to the responsible and the... Pat Lee. Discussion of all the branches of TF media within!

Don't know how appropriate it is to mention other TF sites here, but I just dropped in on TFW2005 and discovered their new makeover (it's all pink and pastel blue!). I hope it's only for today (it being April Fools Day and all).

Check it out for a laugh: :lol:

nothing wrong with pink or pastel. My dressing gown's pink and my room is painted in pastel colours.

No offense - I meant 'queer' as in 'weird'. My bedroom is pale violet (I'm sure the colour has a proper name). The TFW site is funny though - it gave me a bit of a surprise. Did you check it out?

Heh.

I enjoy their dig at Seibs too.

Clicked on 'Google Gulp' on www.google.co.uk ? They've got into the spirit of it.

Google Gulp makes me feel thirsty. And perhaps a little concerned.

Personally, I thought it was hilarious. But it's mysteriously disappeared after someone complained.

Yeah, I was confused for a minute, then I was like, "oh, April Fool's." And then I resolved to not visit the site again until the whole nasty thing was over.

Some little twits aren't very secure in their sexuality, are they?

Most people are treating it as the laugh it is, but there's always a handful who can't seem to get their heads around the psychology of "bitch, and you'll only provoke."

Besides, the regular forums haven't actually gone anywhere. It would have been easy to block those rather than just hide 'em.

I was a bit confused 'cos I didn't know how to get the normal TFW site stuff, but I knew it would only be for one day, and I don't post there (there's some error problem and I never get the activation email), so I was happy to wait until today (back to normal now).
I can't believe some people were SO angry about it all - it was really well done and deserved all the kudos it got from the more mentally mature users, and none of the crap it got from the whiny bitch ones.
Almost made me want to raid my lady love's place for one of those cuddly toys that are always on the bed (WHY do they insist on doing that? :ugh: ).

Were there any April Fools stuff done on this site?

I can't believe how damn anal many of those tightass posters are. It's a joke, and a damn good one I say. Obviously, a lot of thought was put into and I'm sure the board will revert back to its original form.

It's not. ;)

There was also a similar comic with Daytonus, maybe it will back with the site.

Maybe not, but it's scarily accurate these days.
